Beitknown that I, JAMES NUTTALL, a` eiti Zen ot' the United States, residing at Fall River, in the eonntv of lhfistol and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and nset'ul Inlprovtnnent'` in lon'i-rleniples` of which the following is a specification.

The nature ol mv invention Consists in the einplqvmen t ol a bearing-spring with the slid ing bar of the temple, and in the extension of the end oi' the said spring to forni a holdingeatehnfor the sliding bar, as hereinafter fully set forth.

Figure I is a top view showing a looin-teini Serial NoA 271,233. (No model.)

spring d. The spring d is prolonged to forni a spring-arm, f, wl1iel1,by being depressed when the sliding bar D is carried toits extreme backward position against the action of the spiral spring F, will serve to forni a eateh or pawl to retain the said sliding bar in its backward position, so that a piek-out in the web can be readily opera-ted upon by the weaver, and after the web has been properly lived the sliding bar D can be released from the action of the said catch or pawl, and the ordinary operation of the looin be proceeded 1 with as before.

The holding-plate G is provided with a slot, g, for adjustable attachment to the breastbeain, and the holding-shell E is secured to the plate G by means of the under beveled side, z, ot the groove i in the plate G and the elainpingpieee I, which is also provided with an under beveled faoe, j. The said under beveled faces h and j are serrated,

` as shown in Fig. l, in order to hold the eorln 'the aeeonlpanying drawings, A is the temljile-roller, the periphery oi' which is set with holding-spurs for engagin with the edge ot' the woven web, the said roller being arresponding beveled and serrated edges 7.: of the base s of the shell E with greater irniness against the Continued beating aetion of the lay upon the spring-operated sliding` bar D,

ranged to revolvelooselynpon a study, which extends laterallyv from the forward end of the l bar D, the said bar having a sliding inovenient in its holding-shell E, the said holdingshell being provided with the upwardly-projecting guide-ear d, having a perforation through which the rear end oi the bar D made to pass loosely, and with the opposite ears, t, adapted to receive the cross-pin c,

which serves to hold the bar D in its proper which would tend to loosen the fastening of the shell to the holding-plate.

I Claim as my inventionl. In combination, the te1n1')le-rOlIer, the spring-operated slidingl bar, the holdin g-shell, and the bearing-spring Jfor preventing looseness ofthe sliding bar, snbsta-uitia-lliT as deseribed.
